If successful it is hoped to introduce Napercise on a regular basis and a price would be introduced for non-members.

The class could also be rolled out to other David Lloyd clubs including ones in Solihull.

It’s designed for tired parents and stressed-out workers who can go there for an uninterrupted 40 Winks Workout, scientifically designed to reinvigorate the mind, improve moods and even burn the odd calorie.

The class arrives in the wake of research revealing the ‘tiredness epidemic’ across the UK, with 86 per cent of parents admitting to suffering from fatigue, with 26 per cent regularly getting less than five hours sleep a night.

Upon arrival in the studio guests will find the spin-bikes swapped for single beds, and upbeat workout tunes ditched in favour of atmospheric sounds, to create the perfect environment for the soporific sessions to take place.

The studio temperature will also be dropped to a level that promotes calorie burning during sleep.

Napercisers will be invited to curl up in one of the beds and indulge in some restorative mid-afternoon shuteye, before continuing on with their day.

The development of Napercise is inspired by past academic studies into the important health benefits that napping in the day can bring. This includes helping boost alertness, alleviate feelings of anxiety or stress, and improving your mood.

Napercise has been developed alongside Dreams sleep expert Kathryn Pinkham, who says: “Sleep is a lot more important than people realise. It’s essential for our long-term physical and mental well-being.”

Laura Wright, general manager at David Lloyd Bromsgrove, said: “The Napercise class was so popular with people when it was first trialled in Sidcup that we’re delighted to be able to offer it to our members here in Bromsgrove.

“We’re making sure classes are available to non-members so the people of the West Midlands get to experience this unusual but incredibly popular class.”
